Soros alone doesn’t have the $ to move the markets in total. Are the big bankers involved? possibly

YES, but FFR is up b/c of fed BS risk *now* of inflation. They are forcing an inverted yield curve.

China.

The Chinese stock market has been pumped up to the max. Last week they stopped propping it up, and their market affects all the other markets of the world.

Plus they quit buying US treasuries at the same time.

No, stocks are not undervalued at all based on typical market conditions. Stocks are undervalued based on LT market adjusted returns at this age point in cycle based on a normal cycle! Which is to say..

Dow is readjusting to a “new” type of economy i.e. a more “normal” form. Exact composition to be determined ;-)

Good God, you’d expect IBD to at least show some sense. 3 trillion in losses, a big number for the economy to manage?

You’d have to be a total moron to think everyone who sold lost money. people did not lose 3 trillion dollars. Many people were taking profits accumulates over the last few years. A decent portion was short selling.

How can on investment paper, print such a ridiculous article?

People are also taking money out of the DOW for more stable investments.
With interest rates headed up, people are starting to move money around to safer investments.

The Markets will start climbing back up the day after the Midterm election if the Repubs hold onto both Houses

If anyone is confused about the DOW vs GDP as an economic indicator, they know NOTHING about economics.

With the huge endowments such as the Ford Foundation Manhattan Institute Gates Foundation Tom steyer and George Soros I’m quite certain that all of them have program cells in trying to influence the election in the run-up to it.

Tech stocks tanked the dow. Tech tanked because of Trump kicking cHina’s ass. Bezos lost over 10 billion dollars in a week. Bezos = amazon = china.

Good.

Gdp great, but fed is keeping it lower than it could be. Because...they suck.

Book this: Hedge fund managers and the like are factoring in the elections, which many expect to result in a divided congress. They've been calling pollsters like Rasmussen asking 'what do you see.? Rasmussen advises at the moment there's a reasonable chance dems run the house and most all positive movement comes to a grinding halt. The Trump agenda will be stymied for 2 years.

When we win the house, the rocket roars again....in my extremely confident opinion.

Does anybody even know how the Dow is calculated? It has something to do with 30 particular stocks if I remember correctly. I’m sure those stocks are SUPPOSED to reflect the spectrum of the economy but I’m skeptical.

I can’t help thinking this is some kind of manipulation by left leaning billionaires.

It is just a matter of time before someone with a brain and determination sees that something is “not right.”
